Difficulty notes#

  • Freshly constructed ordinary wild creature; no paragon conversion, control/summon scaling, equipped/stat offsets, spell effects or special runtime transformations. Endless Journey expansion branches assumed. Missing skill/resistance assignments use zero. Numeric interval endpoints may not co-occur.

Loot eligibility#

Excluded from ordinary encounter loot

The shared ordinary encounter-loot path excludes this source class or constant property. Banking, vendor, carried-inventory and other scripted item operations are not corpse-drop promises.

No ordinary generated supplement through the excluded encounter path.

This evaluates definite source exclusions and requested themes. It does not inspect live ownership, summoned status, corpse contents or world spawns.

  • Creature is not deleted or a player.
  • Creature is not summoned, controlled or bonded.
  • Creature has no recorded owners.
  • NoKillAwards, IsInvulnerable and Blessed must all be false at generation time.
  • Ordinary loot is generated only once; existing generated gold and ordinary equipment consume that budget.

Loot and special drops#

Source calls describe requested themes, conditions and inventory. Ordinary equipment/gold are reconciled through DifficultyLoot; these calls are not additive guaranteed payouts. Runtime dispatch and conditional special rewards still apply.

Drop rules#

Loot requestInterpretationCondition
1 × Average loot themeRequests ordinary treasure within one shared difficulty budget; repeated pack requests do not multiply the payout.No condition in extracted rule
Arrow (20)Packs an explicit inventory or reward item: Arrow. Its source conditions determine whether and when this occurs.No condition in extracted rule
Gold: 10, 75Requests gold through the shared pocket-gold cap; the expression is not an additional guaranteed purse.No condition in extracted rule

Scripted drops and item transfers#

These operations occur in the named methods. They can describe encounter rewards, service transactions or other item transfers; they are not an unconditional corpse-drop list.
